Understand weapon recoil patterns, test attachment effects, and master spray control. See exactly how each weapon behaves to become a gunfight expert.
Difficulty: Hard
Higher spread, faster reactions
High damage, high recoil AR. Unforgiving but rewarding
Master these techniques to control any weapon
Keep your crosshair at head level before shooting. Recoil will pull upward, so pre-aim higher for longer bursts.
Pull down on your mouse while holding fire. This counteracts the upward recoil pattern for better accuracy.
Fire short bursts (3-5 shots) instead of long sprays. Each burst gives you time to reset your aim.
Adjust your spray control based on distance. Close range: minimal adjustment. Long range: maximum pull-down.
Compensators reduce recoil but limit range. Choose attachments based on your engagement range preference.
Train in one weapon at a time. Master one gun before switching. Muscle memory is crucial for spray control.

Structured progression for mastering recoil
Duration: Weeks 1-2
Weapon: MP40 or M4 (lowest recoil)
Training: Fire at stationary targets 100 shots per session
Goal: Consistent aim, no complex spray patterns
Next Step: Move to intermediate once you hit 80% accuracy
Duration: Weeks 3-4
Weapon: M4 then SCAR (moderate recoil)
Training: Short bursts (5 shots) at moving targets
Goal: Control 5-shot bursts perfectly
Next Step: Practice competitive mode 5v5
Duration: Weeks 5+
Weapon: AK or specialized weapons
Training: Full magazine spray at variable distances
Goal: Master complex spray patterns under pressure
Next Step: Competitive ranked matches
Total: 30 minutes daily = 3.5 hours weekly = noticeable improvement in 2-3 weeks
Expert answers to common spray control questions
Gunfight excellence starts with understanding recoil. Spend 30 minutes daily on spray control and watch your K/D ratio climb. The difference between average and pro players is consistency in spray control under pressure.
